1speeifcatohfffneftersPatent No. 12,439, `dated February 27, 1855. .y n

i i to themovable plate fV held in its place by `the set screws X X.`

represents another part of the cutting apparatus operating in connection With the cutter J.

. I-I represents a lever attached to the arm G by thebolt a upon which it is movable,

therefore the sliding plate F in moving backward or outward carries the outer end up? theinclined plane Q, forcing theA inner end down, thereby throwing the link from `the. former I. n

N N" represents a pair of rotating dies Working `onthe arbors P I" on which are thetwo' toothed Wheels O O` in gear thereby givingsimilar motion tothe forming dies, which are operated bythe moving former I, and uponthe retreat of the former they are turned to their original position by the `spiral spring I).

M represents a movable gage held in its place bythe set screws c the object of having this and the plate 'U movable is so that the n required quantities of lmaterial can be taken for. different sized links.'

` U yIV are rests upon which the material `rests until taken by the former I.

I do not claim as my invention `the rotating `dies in combination With the reciprocating former; neither do I claim the mannerherein described of cutting off the mate# rial at the proper bevel for Welding; but

What I do claim and Wish to secureby Letters Patent is y I claim the arrangement of the forked lever H, .conned to the arm G in relation to the inclined plane Q, and former I, and op `erated for relieving the former of the link as herein set forth. A. M. GEORGE.
